Ah, the long version. First two bass notes and I know what it is. Best lyric ever. “All he left was alone.”. Awesome arrangement. I’ve even played it a few times with some of my soul brothers. Story is sad but true still, or even more so today. Thanks! 👍
I my youth I thought the lyric was “All he left us was a loan”!
all he left was a loan
....always thought it could have been “...all he left us was a loan....”...but “alone” is a better lyric...
I love the long version intro. Long and soulful instrumental play. Like Isaac Hayes Shaft.
